Photography programs are available to artistically gifted seniors at New Trier High School. Students can learn camera and darkroom techniques, photographic exposure, and preparation of individual portfolios. One highly effective project used words and numbers as the subject matter for student photographs. (CS)

From 1908 to 1918, Lewis Hine, educator and photographer, gave new meaning to the camera as an educational tool for social change. Published by the National Child Labor Committee, Hine's photo essays of exploited urban and rural children were intended to instigate reform. This essay with photographs describes Hine's crusade.

Photochemical data are presented to indicate how use of sensitizing dyes extends the spectral range to which the substrate semiconductor is sensitive. Data demonstrate that specific energetic requirements exist for a dye to be an effective sensitizer. Also shows how photooxidation is increased by increasing surface concentration of the dye. (JN)

In August, 1981, National Aeronautics and Space Administration launched Dynamics Explorer 1 into polar orbit equipped with three cameras built to view the Northern Lights. The cameras can photograph aurora borealis' faint light without being blinded by the earth's bright dayside. Photographs taken by the satellite are provided. (JN)

Examines the current state of acceptance and use of microformatted visual materials for serious research in art. Problems of resolution, color fidelity, permanence, and large audience image display are discussed against new trends in publication and distribution which together can increase the holdings and research capacity of institutions.…

A classroom photography activity is outlined that motivates learning of mathematical topics such as estimation, geometry, ratio, measurement, and algorithms. (MP)

Suggests that observing, photographing, and discussing local buildings and places can help students form opinions about the built environment, the art form they experience most of the time. Presents some teaching ideas from existing photography-in-the-built-environment projects in Britain and the United States. (Author/SJL)

Describes a year-long, technically-oriented photography/film course developed by the authors for the Newton (Massachusetts) Public Schools. Lists some of the program's objectives, discusses problems of working with chemicals and providing darkroom space, and emphasizes the program's motivational effects. (SJL)

The activities covered in this article are designed to introduce students to photography in a short time span, on a limited budget. Thus, each activity has primary photo exercises and is intended to relate to the next by acting as a foundation experience. (Author)

Described is the phasor method of superposition of waves. The intensity pattern from a system of microwave sources is calculated point by point on a plane corresponding to a film emulsion, and then printed and directly converted to a hologram for 3-cm microwaves. Calculations, construction, and viewing of holograms are included. (Author/DS)

Stereoscopic photo activities for students are described for the purpose of motivating students in earth science. Included also is the necessary equipment for obtaining the three-dimensional effect. (SA)

Investigates the "photographic" appearance of a cube moving at relativistic speeds, and shows that it depends upon whether the camera is held fixed with the optic axis perpendicular to the direction of motion or panned to follow the cube as it moves. (Author/GA)

Describes a large combined photography/publications program at an Oregon high school; discusses equipment costs and the way the program is financed. (GT)
